The Bruncheonette

This little cafe was surprisingly great! The food presentation was lovely and delicious! Service was excellent, very helpful in suggesting options on the menu. The atmosphere is casual and friendly. They had a steady flow of customers but no waiting! Both inside and outside dining tables available. Try it! You'll be surprised at how good it is!

This is a wonderful, locally owned spot with delicious brunch options. It's open until 2 pm and has private parking in a lot. This is the first and only place where I've had pulled pork pancakes and they are awesome. The owner and team here are so kind, accommodating, and very welcoming.

Our favorite breakfast spot whenever we're in town! Such friendly service, and the food is amazing: I get the runaround migas every time, my husband gets the Benny Harper and son gets the pancakes. All are excellent. Atmosphere is great as well; has a big city vibe in a smaller town.

Such a cozy place to have breakfast & brunch. The Lobster Benny was very tasty! The staff are so helpful and nice to explain the menu and check on us. This restaurant also allows to do the half order which is awesome! Since the place is small, you will have to wait outside until the host allows you in, and the seating is limited, but we have a side table facing the outside view. It's very nice and feels peaceful.

The service was excellent the food and coffee was amazing a new favorite I will definitely be a regular. Very nice relaxed happy atmosphere. I had the farm house with carrot fries and coffee which is from bearded lady which is also a favorite of mine. The sandwich was fresh flavorful and delicious. The carrot fries were light salty with a tempura type coating with a slightly sweet undertone simply amazing.

The highlight for me was the high quality service at this trendy brunch spot. From the personal, detailed explanation of the menu as we waited in line to order, to the fast paced delivery of our food and condiments, the attentive but not overbearing server really impressed me. Prices seemed fair as well at around $10-14 per person for a filling meal. Although the parking lot was full when we arrived on a Sunday morning, we only waited maybe 5 minutes to get seated. Everything was smooth and pleasant logistically. The food itself was decent and delivers on what the menu promises. Both the pancakes and french toast were somewhat bland in our opinion, but syrup certainly helped to mask this. The fruit plate was a little sad - just a cut up avocado half, a sliced banana, and some pineapple slices on a small side plate. Overall, not the best but not bad by any means. I could see why it would be a popular spot for weekend brunch.

The most amazing service and the BEST eggs Benedict I've ever had!!!!Ambiance is quaint and casual.

Gravy is not good - I wish it wasn't so hard to find traditional sausage or bacon gravy!! Their options are interesting but limited.

Been here at least a dozen times. Foodies paradise. If you're within 60 miles make the stop!!

Passing through Joplin on our way cross country we stopped into The Bruncheonette. Delightful from the warm greeting making us feel instantly welcome, the friendly staff to the exceptional food. A casual spot with a relaxed feel offering both indoor and outdoor seating.The food, was beautifully presented, farm fresh and bursting with flavor. We ordered the Hey Brah!, the Benny Harper and shared a beautiful fresh garden tomato salad topped with parm and balsamic drizzle. They were very attentive throughout our meal and made sure coffee was full and tables were cleaned promptly. Vibrant locally sourced seasonal ingredients and a wonderful staff made this stop an enjoyable surprise. The Bruncheonette is a Joplin gem and does not disappoint. If you're passing through or lucky enough to live nearby stop in- you will be happy you did. I know we were!
